Watch out for these men at the Champions League final

Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid

Cristiano Ronaldo
Ronaldo has been unstoppable this season - scoring a record-breaking 16 goals in the Champions League besides also scooping up the Ballon d'Or. On Saturday too, he will play a key role on Real's left flank and will keep the Atletico defence and 'keeper Courtois on their toes

Gareth Bale
He has had a successful first season for the Spanish giants after his record-breaking move to Real Madrid in the summer. Atletico's defenders will have to put in a double shift on Saturday night if they are to contain both Ronaldo and Bale

Karim Benzema
Benzema, who hobbled off with an abductor injury in Real's 3-1 win over Espanyol, could still make a comeback in time for the final. While he has not exactly set the La Liga on fire, Benzema has had a good tournament so far, netting five goals besides five assists in 10 games

Diego Costa
A right hamstring injury he picked up last week could jeopardise his chances of playing on Saturday. However, he has received treatment in Serbia to make a speedy comeback and if he is successful, he could spur Atletico to the title. The striker, who seems to be on his way out after this season, will want to sign off with a Champions League title on his CV

Thibaut Courtois
Atletico have conceded the least goals in the La Liga and the Champions League this season and that is partly due to how good Courtois has been. On Saturday too he will have to be at his best to keep Ronaldo and Bale at bay

Koke
While all attention has been focussed on Costa this season, Koke has been a key player in the Atletico attack, plying Costa with defence-splitting through-balls with unerring frequency
